A Cessna 501 Citation I on a ferry flight from Green Bay, Wisconsin, turned back after reporting a problem shortly after takeoff in snow and fog. It banked steeply, its left wing dropped, and it struck a warehouse building, killing the pilot. The NTSB cited the pilot's loss of control and his attempted VFR flight into instrument conditions.
